Mr. Laird helped to drop kick Santa Cruz county into its current communist state.

Now he's gone after you all. This bill is pure Agenda 21.

BILL NUMBER: AB 2600
INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Laird


This bill would establish the Sierra Nevada Conservancy, to
undertake various activities related to the Sierra Nevada Region, as defined, and would prescribe the management, powers, and duties of the conservancy. The bill would create the Sierra Nevada Conservancy Fund in the State Treasury. Moneys in the fund would be available, upon appropriation, for the purposes of the conservancy.

There is in the Resources Agency the Sierra Nevada
Conservancy, which is created as a state agency for all of the
following purposes:
(a) To protect and enhance natural diversity; natural resources; open space; working landscapes, including forests, woodlands, and agricultural and range lands; riparian areas; watersheds; wildlifehabitat; recreational opportunities; interpretive facilities; public
access; and the unique cultural, artistic, and historic resources, within the Sierra Nevada Region.
(b) To assist local economies by increasing tourism and
recreation, and by preserving resource economies.
(c) To protect and improve water quality.
(d) To support development and implementation of collaborative and cooperative resource conservation planning efforts.
(e) To support the development and dissemination of educational information on the region's resources.
(f) To support the development and dissemination of technical
information and expertise.

governments, and nonprofit organizations, as well as to cooperate in regional efforts with local and state organizations in Nevada, in designing and implementing projects to carry out the purposes of this division.

When the statists, like Laird say they are out to preserve farmland, then katie bar the door.

Mr. Laird helped put Coast Dairies out of business. The brought the fish and game department in who tagged the farm for not fencing off its streams from the cattle. The farmer couldn't afford to build all the new fencing, so sold his beautiful coastal farm to the county of santa cruz for a song.

The county gave it to the state to manage, its greenbelted out of the tax base, but the state wants to give it back.

So a beautiful productive tax roll contributing long time family farm is a wasteland of weeds.

If you haven't seen their website before, it was created as a place for people to learn about agenda 21 and its application in Santa Cruz county and issues pertaining to the Consitution and individual liberty. They host a radio show wednesday nights this might be a good topic for them.

The public leans right on major issues in California. Its better for the Democrats to compromise than lose at the ballot box.

Is Carry Okie aware of this site? His exposure to Agenda 21 in Santa Crux County started him on a whole new life experience. You probably knew that, however.
